Simulation and Control of the Segmented Inspection Robot MAKRO
نویسندگان
چکیده
The combined modeling and control task for a multi-joint sewer inspection system is described. The robot, called MAKRO1.1 is of worm-like shape and designed for pipes of 30 to 60 cm width. Since the control of more than 20 degrees of freedom is not a simple task, we need simulation of the robots kinematics before and during every run. In this case, our simulation of the robot’s motions is fast enough to run as a visualization tool. The construction of trajectories and the methods to follow and to visualize them are presented.

Visual Orientation and Motion Control of MAKRO – Adaptation to the Sewer Environment
Adaptation has become an important aspect of robot design. The work here describes the perception and motion control of MAKRO an autonomous robot for sewer inspection from the point of view of MAKRO’s adaptation to specific features of the sewer environment. Two features are crucial for MAKRO’s adaptation. First, narrow sewer pipes connected into a unified system via junctions, compose a graph-...
متن کاملDynamic replanning in uncertain environments for a sewer inspection robot
The sewer inspection robot MAKRO is an autonomous multi-segment robot with worm-like shape driven by wheels. It is currently under development in the project MAKRO-PLUS. The robot has to navigate autonomously within sewer systems. Its first tasks will be to take water probes, analyze it onboard, and measure positions of manholes and pipes to detect polluted-loaded sewage and to improve current ...
متن کاملSimulation of Position Based Visual Control and Performance Tests of 6R Robot
This paper presents simulation and experimental results of position-based visual servoing control process of a 6R robot using 2 fixed cameras. This method has the ability to deal with real time changes in the relative position of the target-object with respect to robot. Also, greater accuracy and independency of servo control structure from the target pose coordinates are the additional advanta...
متن کاملVehicle Suspension Inspection by Stewart Robot
The suspension system of a vehicle is one of the most important parts which is involved in the process of vehicle designing. When a vehicle suspension system is designed, the evaluation of its performance against the road disturbances such as shocks and bumps are very important. The most commonly used systems consist of four hydraulic Jacks with mobility in vertical line with low speed and l...
متن کاملOn The In-pipe Inspection Robots Traversing Through Elbows
A general robotic mechanism was presented for in-pipe inspection oflevel pipes with varied diameter or curved pipelines. The robot employed three legs comprised of parallelogram linkages mechanism which enables adapting to various elbow joints in the piping systems. The curvatures in pipeline are the most important constraints in front of the robot through navigation process. To study the adapt...
